Reset your password by e-mail
To send an e-mail message to email address here@hotmail.com, click Send Message. The message will contain instructions to help you reset your password.
-How can I get e-mail at my Hotmail or MSN inbox if I forgot my password?
im trying to reset the email password of the email address it says it will send it to... so how will i read it?
i click the thing...and it says

Click Send yourself a password reset e-mail message.
If you added an alternate e-mail address to your credentials, click Send an e-mail message to my alternate e-mail address, and then click Send Message.
quote:usual email address? where the hell is that option too!?
–or–
If you use the Save my e-mail address and password option when you sign in, click the option to send an e-mail message to your usual e-mail address, and then click Send Message. You'll be able to access your e-mail because your password was automatically saved.
Open your alternate e-mail account, and follow the instructions in the password reset e-mail message.
this makes no sense, it just tells me it will reset the poassword, and send it to the address it is reseting!

It's been a while (measurable in years) since I've dealt with any of that, but you may wish to see if there are other password reset options available at https://accountservices.passport.net.
There at least used to be a secret question/answer reset feature. Of course, I am not sure you ever get to select one when signing up for hotmail...
